Well, our California weather bit me yesterday. It snowed here in the desert for over 18 hours straight, we've got a foot of snow everywhere.
So, the wife says we need stuff from the store, I have two choices, drive her pimped out lowered PT Cruiser (basically a snow plow in this situation) or drive my truck. So off I got to the store in the truck to stock up. Now, I've driven in snow many times and found that driving this beast is a little different in the snow than any other vehicle I've ever driven, first off, 1st gear is a complete waste of time, start in 2nd, then use the gearing to slow down and regulate speed, no problem.
So, I get to the store, go in and get the crap the wife wants, come out and some bastard has hit the front of my truck. Looks like all they damaged was the front license plate bracket, but won't know for sure until I can really get all the snow off it and take a good look. Needless to say, they were gone, no nothing, just screw up someone's vehicle and get the hell outta town.
Makes you want to reach out and TOUCH someone in a very personal way.
One additional finding, the mesh grilles are nothing but snow magnents and plug up real fast LOL
